Expert Analysis
Matt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
I have been a huge fan of Kylan for a while now, and this past season, he really stepped up into the spotlight for a strong Forest Hills program. Kylan has since moved to Monroe, and it will be interesting to see how he fits into their offense. The good thing is, one of the main strengths Kylan has is his versatility. He can play in any receiver role on offense, as he showed last season with the Yellow Jackets. Kylan is a dynamically fast player – he is one of the best track runners in the Charlotte Metro Area, and that speed is on display at running back, receiver, and as a returner on special teams. I am very high on Kylan, and he’s going to be a major weapon for the Redhawks this upcoming season for sure.

Kylan again showed why he’s fast becoming one of the most electric players in the Charlotte Metro Area. With his team down 14-0 and needing a boost of energy, Kylan took a simple handoff up the middle for a 75-yard touchdown run and cut the lead to 14-7 in a flash. The Yellow Jackets also do some things with him formation-wise to get matchups where they can get him the ball in the passing game as well, so he’s going to be a major weapon this upcoming season.

Polk had an absurd touchdown rate last season, scoring nine times on 59 rushes and adding another as a receiver. He can play in the backfield or the slot and is a home run threat every time. We really like his upside and that ability to score from anywhere on the field means defenses have to account for him every play, even if he only averaged about six touches a game last year.

Speed, speed, speed is what I love about Kylan’s game. If he gets into the open field, it’s game over for the defense. In an expanded role next season, I am excited to see what he can do for the Yellow Jackets. As a back, though, he can run with power through tackles at the 2nd level and exhibits good vision in following his blockers on both inside and outside runs. Kylan can also catch the ball from the back position on screens and can line up at receiver and run routes as well. He is a flat-out playmaker, and he should really have a big season next year, in my opinion.
